To Advertisers.
The hloßTUita Poet has a larger circulation than any
sabscnimon paper published in Pittsburgh. To busi
ness men lianordsan excellent medium for Advertising
and being the only Democratic paper issued in Alleghe
ny county, It goes into the hands of a class of readers
reached by no other paper. _ Advertisers will be good
enough to bear this tn mind.
Tile Custom House.
Asyet no selection of a cite for the Custom
House and'Post Office has been nude. The Coni'-
missionereappointed to select a location, we un
derstand, have written to the Secretary of the
Tftasury, asking for instructions in the matter,
.especially jn regard to the size of the lot required
by the Government for tho purposes designated in
the Act. Until they receive an answer, of coarse
thpy will not act together officially. They have
- very properly, we thinfe concluded to receive no
proposals unless made m writing, or when all the
members of the committee are present.
In connection with this matter it may not be
improper for us at this time to state a fact
which lately came to onr knowledge in regard to
" the appropriation of $75,000 for the Custom
House, &e., in this City. Heretofore the exclusive
. credit of procuring the passage of the Act through
Congress has been awarded to Mr. Hauptos.—
No doubt that gentleman did ail in his power, so
far us his influence extended, to have the bill
passed; bat there were others on the ground who
took quite as deep an interest in the matter as
Mr. Haunoir. Onr esteemed friend and fellow
citizen, Tomas Miehs, Esq., who spent most of
the winter at Washington, exerted every effort in
his power have the bill passed. He was con
stantly amongst the Senators and Representatives,
urging them, to do justice to Pittsburgh. And we
have it from: good authority that had it not been
for the arguments used and the influence exerted
by Mr. Mxxas, the bill, in all probability, would
have been lost: ~We mention this fact without
the knowledge or consent of Mr. M., solely for
the purpose of giving “ honor to whom honor is
due."
Publication of tbe Laws.
The bill introduced eome time ago, by Mr.
Mowry, of Somerset, providing for the publication
of the Laws in the newspapers of the various
counties in the State, has been reported back to
the House, by the Committee on the Judiciary, to
"whom it was referred, with a recommendation
that it bo rugatned.
We presame the Solons at Harrisburg are
ashamed of tbeir own acts, and do not wish their
constituents to sea them.' Nearly every State in
the Union makes provisions for the publication of
their legislative enactments. We would suggest
to the members of oar Legislature to have their
laws suspended upon the dome of the State House,
in imitationof a certain.tyrant mentioned in his
tory.
Wes torn Virgima^oOoagsrssß.
We observe that in the Wheeling Congressional
district each party has its candidate in the field
for Congress. Tho Whigs have again placed in
nomination Hon. Thomas 5. Havmokd, the pres,
ant member, and the Democrats hare selected Col.
Geobgs W. Tbohmoh as their standard bearer.
We have strong hopes that Col. Thompson ■ will
be elected; The district undoubtedly has a hand
some Democratic majority, but it was carried at
the last Congressional election by the Whies in
consequence of some unfortunate divisions in the
Democratic ranks. These difficulties, we believe,
are now healed, and Col. Tbohpsoh comes before
the people as the « Union candidate," with
prospect of being triumphantly elected.
ScliayUUll County-
The Democracy of Schuylkill county met in
Convention at Orwigsburg on the lOih inst., when
C. W. Heoihs was selected as Senatorial, and-F. B.
KaißßHin and C. F. Jacksoh, Representative
Delegates to the Hamsburg Judicial Convention,
with instructions to support the Hon. Ldtheu
Kiddib and the Hon. Ellis Lewis for the Su»
preme Bench.
The Convention passed the following resolution,
which we heartily endorse -.
.Resolved, That it is the duty of the Delegates
composing said- Judicial Convention, to put in
nomination no candidate for the Supreme Bench
who isrfot known to possess the requisite experi
ence and legal knowledge; for we hold that the
people of the State will sacrifice every other con
sideration to the. all important one of good and
competent men.
Ohio TT. 8. Senator.
It wilfbe seen by the following article from the
Ohio Statesman, of Saturday evening, that Bkkj.
F. Wade was on that day elected U. S. Senator
for six years, from the 4th inst.
TWEZfTT*SBVEBTH BALLOT.

Benjamin F. Wade haring received a majority
of all the votes cast, was declared elected for sis
years from and afterjthe 4th of Mar :h, 1851.
Bus. F. Wade Elected TJ. S. Seratou.
From the coarse the Whigs took by the votes
published last night, we presume no one will be
surprised at any result that might follow. Mr.
Wade, who made one of the bitterest speeches last
fall against the Fugitive Slave Law, is elected U.
S. Senator for six years from the 4th inst., and by
the aid of Whig votes! So much for Fillmore
and his Whig: administration!—so much for
Whig:pretences in coaxing certain Democrats to
abuse free soilers, promising to stand by them!—
The result is a bright commentary on Whig poll.,
tics, and those who have been fooled will have
ample time to reflect. fTj‘ We presume ■ the re
mainder of the bargain will be carried out before
an adjournment this evening. .
P.S. In accordance with the above bargain,
Greiner,-Whig, is re-elected- Librarian, and ; John
Wood Auditor of State.

Rev, H. W. Beecher, who is by many considered
a pretty smart chap, was admirably “sold” by the
paragraph about a white slave in Cincinnati having
been bartered away to a Southerner. Hear bim, in
his panting indignation:
“Wo have stated a supposed case. Look at a
real one, as tbc telegraph last week reported it. A
woman has lived many years tn Cincinnati; has
hardly been known to bo colored at all: but is claimed
by a man from the South as his property ;* is sworn
to as each, and is earned off to her fate. ‘Her price,*
it is significantly added,‘is threo thousand dollars *
And the insatiate lusts of the man who can afford it
are to be gratified oq this lovely and defenceless
woman, under the shelter of the law which govern*
ment executes ; under the very shadow of the flag
which the nation makes honored I
“And yet we arc told to ‘be.qnict’ under this; and
she is told that ehe must not resist f Is there a man
on earth, who ever knew tho love of a sister, whoso
blood ever bounded at the kiss of the loved, who
does not know that this is false!—who docs not know
that the right of self preservation strikes deeper hero
than tho obligation to maintain civil order ? Verily,
it would seem that the wire that bore tho Intel) t*
gence to us must have trembled like irbolee lhai
throbs with horror, under the burden okthe newt 1
that every breexe along their course must have
howled their contempt for a nation that endures
this !♦*
“ Tho Greek?—iho Greek? ”
Eng!and-*Tho Ministerial Crisis.
The Ministerial crisis forms tho principal topic in
the Eogiish papers. Lord Stanley has twice failed
to reconstruct a Ministry. The following is the Min
isterial explanation in the House of Lords:
JVilmerand Smith’s Liverpool Times says—ln tho
House of Commons last night (28th ult.) Lord John
Russel moved the,farther adjournment of tho Houso>
as the Queen bad sent for the Duke of Wellington
to take his opinion on the presont position of politi
cal parties. His Lordship referred to the contradict
non with which he . hed been met by D’leraeli on
Monday sight relative to Lord Stanley having re
fused at that time to form a Cabinet, and tho noble
Lord showed that the statement which bo made was
strictly correct. He professed his desire to maintain
free trade, to extend tho franchise, and to put down
the papal aggression, which fate bill proposed, bat
stated that Lord Aberdccu and flir James Graham
deemed any Icgtilative measure on the last named
subject supeiflaoos. This was the point in which
the negotiation failed.
Lord John was followed by Mr. D’laraeii, who
maintained that ha waa justified iu using (he dia*
claims? in reference to the nobio Lord’s version
ofthe interview - between Lord Stanley and the
Queen.
Sir addressed the House. While
he professed his unwillingness to work with Lord
John Russel, ho was opposed to an extension of tho
franchise, and in relation to his Papal bill ho thought
somo notice might btvobeen taken of the aggression
by tho British Government—but any legislative
enactment on the subject, he deprecated.
Lord Stanley then made his statement and said
(hat at hie first interview with her Majesty, he had
advieed that au attempt be made to form a Ministry
by a coalition between the snpportera of the late
Ministry and the followers of Sir R. Peel. He be
lieved that the cause of the abrupt resignation was
the divisions on the motions of Mr. D’lsracli and
Mr. Locko Jling, hut by their difficulties with respect
to the question of Papal Aggression and the Budget,
end ihe failure of Lord John Russel to roconatrnct
(ho Ministry. He had earnestly made an attempt,
bat having failed to obtain the co-operation of tho
leaders of the Peelite party, he was convinced that
the opposition in the House of Commons would he
too great to enable his Ministry to bear ap against,
and ho had accordingly tnado a communication to
her Majesty to that effect. If he bad succeeded m
• the attempt he should have considered it his duty
to repeal the Income Tax, and to bring in measures
for the relief of tbo agricultural districts, but would
not have pursued so rash and hasty a course with
reference to the Papal Aggression, os had been
taken by the late Ministry. The noble lord sat
down amidst load cheering.
Somo other unimportant speeches were made be
fore tbc House rose, but it is clear that tho inter
regnum continues, and may esdoro for a week or
even a month. As far as present appearances are
concerned the Papal policy of the government has
prevented tho fusion which might have otherwise tn
ben place between tho Pcelitcs nod the Whigs. U
is also evident that all fears of a Stanley cabinet arc
at an end. What if the old Duke himself were to
accept the post of Premier! More unlikely events
have happened, and the present is one of those un
looked for and extraordinary emergencies in.which
the Dnke delights to show that ho cao succeed,
where ordinary mortals fail. As a mere temporary
arrangement it would not bo unpalatablo to tho
country, for at present ail parties are annoyed and
irritated—the wbigs at their dcfcjts, tho protection
ists at their administrative weakness, and the Peel
ites at the paucity of their numbers. The Duke, in
fact, old as he is, could bring tbo present discordant
elements into play more successfully than any other
man in the kingdom, and although we have little
hopes that such compromise will be scitcd, it seems
the" best under the circumstances, that could bo
offered.

■Man cut hie throat—another shot himself, and his
wife took Chloroform,
RocuESTnn, March 14.
A mail named John Marrett, a resident of Pitts
ford, cut his throat yesterday, with a razor, which
put an end to his life. He left his dwelling early
yesterday morning for the purpose, as wassuppo9-
ed, of working on his place. He was not again
seen till 8 o’clock last- evening, when his body
was found about twenty rods from his house, stiff,
with his throat cut and stark in death. Nothing
unusual has been noticed in his manner, except,
perhaps, a growing gloom, and fears of coming to
want. He was a native of England, and about
32 years old.
Charles McVean, a son of David McVean, Esq.,
of Wheatland, committed suicide by shooting him
self through the heart, last evening. He was
spending the evening at an uncle’s, with his wife,
when suddenly he rose, kissed his.wife, and drew
a pistol and shat; himself, in the presence of nil
in the room. The moment his wife saw what he
had done, she took a bottle of chloroform and
drank it, and-it now in a very dangerous Btate.—
The cause of the rash act is said to have been in
consequence of some difficulty between the father
end son, in relation .to the division- of some pro
perty. Much sympathy is manifested for the
family.

Horrible Salcido
PROM HARRISBURG.
[cORBISPonDKNCK OP THE HORNING POST.]
Habuissubo, March 15, 1851.
Very little news to day, my dear Post , and no*
thing at all of importance.
The Free Banking bill has passed to a third
reading in the Senate; and the bill to abolish the
Canal Board, and the long annual Militia bill*
have been killed in the House and laid in the
grave, where they will sleep together for the pe*
nod of one year at least.
A bill has been through committee of the whole
in the Senate, incorporating a company to be
called the Susquehanna Railroad Company, with
the power to build a railroad from Harrisburg to
Sanbury, and the privilege to extend the same to
Wilkesbarre or Williamsport. This bill has been
proposed by Gen. Packer, and it contemplates an
enterprise which will prove a blessing to Penn
sylvania if ever completed. Good fortune grant
it may.
The Hon. Janies Buchanan, Hon. Wm. Bigler,
the next Governor of Pennsylvania, and the Hon-
David Wilmot, are among the last arrivals at
Harrisburg. Several other distinguished individ
uals have lately paid visits to the Capital, among
whom I may mention the Hon. Judge Lowne, of
your City, whose gentlemanly appearance and
brilliant accomplishments have made him numer
ous friends in our busy midst. The Judge looks
like a man of great purity of character, and of a
keen and discriminating intellect. His appear
ance, therefore, comes in to the support of his
widespread reputation. As ever,
From ihe Richmond Enquirer-
Important Correction.
Wo take pleasure to inserting the following com.
mumcation from General Bayly, correcting an error
which wo committed yesterday in an article headed
“ New Appraisers’ Bill!”
Richmond, March 13,1851
To the Editors of the Enquirer -•
Gebtleiier : My attention lias just been called to
your article in the Enquirer ol this morning, [under the
caption “New Appraisers’ Bill,” and also to the
one which follows it from the Hartford Times, under
tbo caption, “ Important Increaso of the Times ”
The article Irnm tho Times is full or errors, as is
so much of your article os 19 based upon its a*ate
ments, and those ia which you say tho northern pa
pers agree. I havo not lime to correct them in de
tail, whteh I regret, as I find the law referred to is
much misunderstood.. But 1 may say that it makes
no change whatever in the tariff of 1846, as constru
ed and administered, iroin the period of its enact
ment down to thclatcdccision of the Supreme Court,
by Mr, Polk’s, General Taylor’rjand tho present ad
ministration. As you correctly remark in the first
paragraph ol your article, « the bill ratifies and en
acts tho treasury circulars and re ntahllshrs” 'the
tariff 0f1846, as understood by its framers. It meets
the difficulty created by the decision of the Supremo
Court, which puts a construction upon the tariff of
1846 In conflict with the construction which has pre
vailed at the treasury. It does that, and it does no
more, except to authorize tho appointment of apprai
sers at large. The appointment of them was neces
sary to produce that uniformity in tho duties levied
in the several porta which Is required by the consti
tution. Mr. Walker earnestly recommended the
bill 10 all of us provisions. It was necessary to con
linue the tariff of *46, which has been so eminently
succcssluf, as ho had construed and administer
ed 11.
Nothing could bemoro unfounded thin Ihe svale
mont of the Times, ** that this law was literally
smuggled though Congress.” No bill was rnoro
carefully considered. It wsvdiseusscil in thoSeoate
ps long ss anybody chnso 10 disensa 11, and it passed
that body without opposition. Tho clisrselrr of the
bill was much discussed in the pspers, and it was
well understood in tho Honso of Representatives.
The roles required two thirds to uko it from the
Spoaker’a table, yet, upon my motion, u was taken
up, and, alter a buofstatement from mo, it was pas
sod scarcely wuh a ditsont from any one.
in groat hseto, I have the honor 10 be, innat respect
fully your obedient servant, TH. 11. BAYLY.

Plato. —Where there is great compass ol wit,
we usually find excellencies that combine easily
in the living man, hut 111 description appear in

hibited by a Chinese catalogue, but 10 to be appre
hended by an original mind in the crercisa of ita
original power. In him the freest abandonment
ia muted with Ibe precision 01 a geometer His
daring imagination gives him the more solid grasp
of facts; as the birds of highest flight have the
strongest alar boues. His palncian polish, bis in
trinsic elegance, edged by an irony no subtle that
it stings and paralyses, adorn Ihe soundest health
und strength of irame. According to the old
sentence, “ If Jove Ehould descend to the earth, he
would speak in the style ol Plato 1
CaKEuroLNEss or Shakscxabe. —One more
royal trait properly belongs to the poet. I mean Ui9
cheerfulness, without which no man can be a poet,
—for beauty is his aim. He loves virtue, not lor
ita obligation, but for Us grace : ha delights 111 the
worlsksiu man, in woman, for the lovely light that
sparkles from them. Beauty, tho spirit u[ joy and
hilarity, he sheds over tho universe. Epicurus re
lates, that poetry hath such charms that a lover
might forsake his impress to partake of them
And the true bards have been noted for their firm
and cheerful temper. Homer lies in sunshine;
Chaucer is glad and erect; and Saadi says, <* It
was rumored abroad that I was penitent; but what
had Ito do with repentance ?■’ Not less sovereign
and cheerful,—much more sovereign and cheerful,
is the tone of Shakspcare. , His name suggests
joy and emancipation to the hearts ol men. If he
should appear in any company of human souls,
who would not march in his troop? He touches
nothing that does not borrow health and longev
ity from his festal style.
Nafoleok. —Such a man was wanted, and such
a man was bom; a man of stone and troD, capa
ble of sitting on horseback sixteen or seventeen
hours, of going many days together without rest
or food, except by snatches, and with the speed
and spring of a tiger in action; a man not em
barrassed by any scruples; compact, instant, Bel*
fish, prudent, and of a perception which did not
suffer itself to be baulked or misled by any pre
tences of others, or any superstition, or any heat
or baste of his own. “My hand of iron,” he said,
“was not at. the extremity of my arm; it was
immediately connected with my head.” Ha res
pected tho power of nature and fortune, and as
cribed to it his superiority, instead oT valuing
himßelf, like inferior men, on. bis opinionativeness,
and waging war with nalure. His favorite rhet
oric lay in allusion to hts star; and he pleased
himself, as well as the people, when he styled
himself the “Child of Destiny." “They charge
me,” he said, “ with ihe commission of great
crimes, men of my stamp do not commit crimes.
Nothing has been more simple than my elevation*
Its 111 vam to ascribe it to intrigue or crime* it
was owing to the peculiarity of the times, and to
ray reputation of having fought well against the
enemies of my country. I have always marched
with the opinion of great masses, and with events.
Of what use, then, would crimes he to me?"
Again, he said, spsaking of his son, “ My son can
not replace me; I could not replace myself. I
am the creature of circumstances ”

give him, and passing under the numerous trium

ston, was there received by the cheers of the muN
titude. The officers of the army, black, white
and parti-colored, were there to do him honor.—
On the Gth he delivered his inaugural and was
sworn in.
Monagas begins well, and 1 think will make a
good President. He has an excellent heart and
means well, and if not brained by his cabinet, will
have a successful administration.
However, wa shall hope for the best. The
President has invited Congress to give him their
ideas and opinions as to the formation of his cab*
inet. This is unlike some other republics we wot

asked for.

Wistar’s Balaam of Wild Cherry.
ID* The remarkable success of this Balsam is no
doubt owing m a great measure to the peculiarly agree*,
able and powerful nature of its ingredients. • It is a fine
hebbal medicmo—composed chiefly of Wild Cherry
Bark and the genuire Iceland Moss, (the latter imported
expressly for the purpose,) the rare medical virtues, of
which are also combined by a new chemical-proccus
with the Extract of Tar, thus rendering the whole com
pound the most certain and efficacious remedy over dis
covered;
Wedonoiwisit to deceive the afflicted, or hold out
any hopes of relief when none exist; but when so many
hundreds pronounced by skillful physicians us most
hopeless.ccsesjhavo been cured, who can blame us. tor

the suffering invalid to lay aside prejudice, and partake
of a remedy seldom known to fail!

Public Attention
Is most respectfully invited to the plain, unvarnished
statement of John watt, who was cured of an old Cough
by the use of the PetboLeum :
“ Tius may certify that I have been cured of an old
chronic cough by urn use of four bottles of Petroleum.
The cough attacked me a year ago last December, and I
had lost all hopes of getting well, as I had taken the ad
vice of several physicians without any benefit. J was
benefilted almost instantly by the use of the Petroleum.
I coughed tip, during the use of the Petroleum,' a hard
substance resembling bone. I make these statements
without any solicitation fromany one todoso, and sole
ly for the purpose that others who are suffering may be
benefilted. You are at liberty to publish this certificate.
I am an old citizen ol Pittsburgh, having.resided here
thirty'ihree years. My residence, at this time, is m

SHAKER SARSAPARILLA,
TBS GREAT SPRING AND SUMMER MEDICINE.
IT PREVENTS DISEASE-yPROOF:
A Child. Saved! Curious Coir—'The following evi
dence is only oue of thousands of similar ..character*
and conclusively proves that Dr. Howe’s Sarsaparilla is
one of the most effective remedies ever discovered:—
Dr. House;— Dear Sir.—My son, when aboat six
months old, broke out with that dreadful disease, Scrofu
lous Sorts, over tbe face and body; anil for two years
and a half I tried every means that could be suggested
by my friends. I also had the advice of six or seven of
the physicians in the country, without effecting a
cure, and I almost wished the little sufferer dead, that it
might be freed from Its pains. During the last six
months, the sores were so distressing ana painful, my
self ana wife were-up with it night and day, for weeks
together, and tot had given up all hope of ever raising
our little one; At length, a friend advised us to try your
Shaker Sarsaparilla. Reluctantly 1 tried it, and 1 have
reason to bless God for it, {or/in nvery short time,u heal
ed up the sores, so thul there is scarcely even a scar to
be seen. Wo only regret that we did not hear of and
commence using it sooner, as we arc satisfied it would
have saved a great deal of suffering and expense. The
child is now well and hearty. AVe do unnesaatmgly
consider your ShakerSarsapanlla one of the best pre
parations now in use- JOHN SYANHBURY,
Rose, betweoa Front and Second sla.
Thu u iheonltf Sarsaparilla that acts tn the Zictr, Kid
neyr and Blood, at tAa same ttme, which renders u altogeth
er mote valuable to evrry one , particularly Females.
Dr. Musscy, Professor in the Ohio Medical College, says
the Shaktrprrparatconsaretruly valuable, andrccommends
them to the public.
No Meucuct—no Mineral—no Poisonous Drugs m
the Shaker Sarsaparilla.
Remember, it is warranted to be purely and entndy
Vegetable, and as a Fern ah and Family medicine it has
no equal.
